Van Gaal, who has managed Barcelona and Bayern Munich, is currently tied to the Dutch national team until next July and rejected the idea of taking control of both teams simultaneously.

"I'll never comment on offers but everyone who knows me, knows that I won't do a job share", Van Gaal told NOS.

"I've always said I want to work in the Premier League eventually, so there's a chance. There are times a deal is announced and there are times it's in preparation. At that time there's no time for media.

"I’ve read also in the English media that Frank de Boer and Guus Hiddink are in the picture. All the agents do that. They think that's interesting. You never know if it's really like that."
